Abstract
First, a moving direction of an input device is calculated based on motion information obtained from predetermined detection means for detecting attitude or motion of the input device operated by a user. Then, the object in a virtual three-dimensional space is caused to move to a position which is obtained by hypothetically moving a position of the object based on the direction in which the input device has been moved and then by correcting the position of the object hypothetically moved, only in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the input device has been moved.
